Whiteside is known for his sense of humor on social media and love for online video games, so the timing of the video seems perfect. NBA 2K recently posted a brand new trailer to its YouTube page on Wednesday, as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will be able to play “The Prelude” beginning on Sept. 8.

The full NBA 2K18 experience is scheduled to be released in stores nationwide on Sept. 19.
